Aye. Aye. Aye. This is the First Time Since a 2002 resolution a Congressional Panel has voted to authorize military action. Meantime, president obama and Russias Vladimir Putin are each making their case about syria and the right time to carry out action. Jonathan karl on the two powerful leaders shadowboxing on the world stage. Reporter shortly after landing in seed win today, president obama said responding to syrias chem weapons attack is a test of more than just his leadership. My credibility is not on the line.

The full senate still needs to approve that measure and so does the house. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is in San Francisco. Shes working on a resolution that would also limit u. S. Involvement in syria. She expects a house vote after a full debate. I think theres a good chance but i really dont know. Because again, im not persuading many local syrians are lobbying Bay Area Congress members to vote yes. Every day that passes, more people are dying. More civilians are being killed. So we hope that, again, the u. S. And the World Community act and act quickly and swiftly and put an end to this war. Opponents of military action worry this could lead to prolonged u. S.
